Hi, me again!

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FX802.

I would like to take this with me when I go to The States later this year.

The power pack has Input AC 100-240V stated on it. Is it compatible to work out there just by taking this power pack and plugging it into a travel adapter so it will fit into a 2 pin plug? Or do I need to purchase an American power pack or transformer because of the voltage difference?

Sorry to be thick, I just wanna make sure and want to avoid making my laptop going pop
